After their tour his unit spent some down time at Camp Lajeune in North Caroline before returning to Miami but a major hiccup occurred within the logistics unit so there was not a plane free to take Stickney and about 200 marines home to Miami. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Somehow Donald Trump found out about the error and he sent a plane so the marines would be able to return home to Miami. Here is a picture Stickney snapped to remember the event: </span><br />

My thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to family and friends of those either injured or deceased. May God be with and comfort you during this extremely tough time.<br />
<br />
This seems to have been an organized attack by an Islamic jihadist. I have already heard the politically correct mantra calling for tighter gun control. On one news channel journalists were taking aim at the trigger, questioning why citizens are allowed to purchase these types of high-powered guns. The question is not aimed at the right thing or person. The question(s) need to be aimed at the gunman. The gunman succeeded in perpetrating grave evil in the name of Islam. How was this able to happen? The gunman was being watched by law enforcement but they were obviously not on the ball. Did the politically correct code of no profiling thinking get in the way of preventing an act of terrorism? Does law enforcement need to be trained on new protocols and tactics when coming head on with acts of terrorism? I believe the heart of the gunman is the problem, not guns. Our military has access to these types of guns. A citizenry that does NOT have access to the same types of guns as our government would not be suitably equipped to fight against a far overreaching, powerful government that has outwardly violated citizens' rights and ostensibly rejected our constitution should that ever happen. Hopefully this scenario never happens.<br />
<br />
I am hoping that law enforcement across our country learn from this horrible massacre so future attacks can be thwarted to avoid anything like this from happening again.Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-37241298359870328512016-02-05T07:00:00.001-08:002016-02-05T07:00:07.372-08:00This Communist Abortionist Turned Pro-Life After a Saint Visited Him in a Dream | ChurchPOP<a href="https://churchpop.com/2015/09/11/communist-prolife-saint-dream/">This Communist Abortionist Turned Pro-Life After a Saint Visited Him in a Dream | ChurchPOP</a>Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-3078309669549432402015-11-17T19:53:00.000-08:002015-11-17T19:53:35.123-08:00Syrian Refugees The governors are correct in demanding suspending importing Syrian refugees, temporarily. Anyone with common sense would know this is the right thing to do in light of the terrorist attacks in Paris. This is a matter of national security. Keeping citizens safe in the United States. This is not a matter of religious bigotry as Obama has assumed. How dare us care about the persecuted Christians. Obama surely doesn't act like he cares about the barbarism being committed against Christians by Muslims. By Islamic extremists.<br />

Is Donald Trump the man good or bad for the Republican Party? What qualities of his do you think would make Trump a good president? What qualities of his do you think are negative and are reasons why he should not be president? <br />
<br />
Do you think we should separate his business dealings with shady progressive political figures from his running as a political figure for president of the US? <br />
<br />
Donald Trump has flip flopped on a number of issues. Do you think this is genuine? Or him just saying it to get elected?<br />
<br />
Do you agree with Penn Jilette that Donald Trump is a <a href="http://www.salon.com/2012/11/17/penn_jillettes_secrets_of_celebrity_apprentice_donald_trump_is_a_whackjob/" target="_blank">whackjob</a>?<br />
<br />
Do we, does America, need a <a href="https://plus.google.com/+RonRussell0103/posts/URSvUbgJyrk" target="_blank">Trumpinator</a> like Ron Russell says?<br />
<br />
We may need a person with brass balls who doesn't care what others think of him and isn't bought off by interest groups. <br />
<br />
But I think someone can be brass ballsy without having a lack of self control and without using ad hominem attacks against his rivals. <br />
<br />
It looks like Trump has consistently donated to Republicans since 2010. This is a good sign.<br />
<br />
I will continue to search into who actually is Donald Trump the man. <br />
<br />
I do support some of Donald Trump's political positions especially how he is speaking out about immigration to our country. I just am not sure I know enough about him to pull the lever for him to be president of the USA.<br />
<br />

I had a good time watching fireworks last night. I have been working as a home health aide for close to 2 months. Even though I am still dealing with quite a few health issues - bad pain - I know my faith has given the grace to be able to work. I really like helping people who can't do for themselves. I have been pretty busy lately.<br />
<br />
Both the Obamacare and gay marriage Supreme Court rulings weren't much of a surprise to me. I was hoping and praying for a different outcome but with the makeup of the Supreme Court I had a feeling the outcome was going to be as it is. To me it is sad that the persons who makeup the Supreme Court determine the outcome with their opinions or beliefs and not the constitution, which is the bedrock of our country. I agree with Louie Gohmert when he <a href="http://gohmert.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398234" target="_blank">said</a> that Justices Kagan and Ginsberg did not follow the law due to the impossibility of their impartiality in the gay marriage case when they have performed same-sex marriages. It should have been a no brainer for those two justices to have seen the obligation according to law for them to recuse themselves from the gay marriage case. <br />
<br />
Now amidst the GOP we are having an immigration debate. We have presidential contender Donald Trump's immigration comments. Plus we have other presidential candidates like Jeb Bush denouncing Trump's comments. As of this weekend <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/07/04/trump-stands-by-views-dangerous-mexican-illegal-immigrants-admits-surprised-by/" target="_blank">Trump stands by his comments</a>. It is my belief that we need to secure our border. I would say most who come across the border without the proper paperwork are looking for a better life. <br />

She traveled to Missouri and may have infected people. She traveled to Tennessee and put people at risk of contracting TB. If she had any of the <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tuberculosis/basics/symptoms/con-20021761" target="_blank">symptoms</a> of active TB, to name a few such as fever, coughing, hurting to breathe, and chest pains for a few weeks it doesn't make sense for the female patient to wait past three weeks to see a physician. An extra month of infecting people!!! What the hell is wrong with people today? The CDC now has to search for those people who may be infected. Geesh! People think please think before you act or don't act. Think about the consequences for both others and yourself. She is now getting treatment at the National Institutes of Health near Washington D.C.<br />

That is the beauty of the United States of America. Our country has freedom of speech, in the very first amendment. There were two jihadist Islamists who decided to try and shoot up the draw Mohammed event. Those two extremist Islamists were totally in the wrong. Some progressives are blaming Pamela Geller for two radical<br />
Islamists attempting to shoot up her event. Pamela Geller is NOT in the wrong!! Not one iota!!! If Christians can act peacefully when there was anti-Christian "art" piss Christ and Virgin Mary in dung then so should Muslims with the draw Mohammed cartoon contest. As much as a Catholic Christian I am offended, outraged, and appalled by the piss Christ and the Virgin Mary in dung I still believe that the so called art is covered under the first amendment. Yes, cartoon drawings that makes fun of or dishonors Mohammed and disrespects Islam is free speech. Under the first amendment any person is permitted to draw cartoons of Mohammed and hold a draw Mohammed contest. We must not let violence committed by criminals determine what is considered free speech and what isn't free speech. I support Pamela Geller and right to freedom of expression under the first amendment.Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-17779241278986110212015-04-13T12:17:00.001-07:002015-04-13T12:17:30.229-07:00Hillary Announces Run for President So Hillary Clinton has announced a run for president, again.

<br />
There have been quite a few events which have happened since my last post. Our President got on his high horse at the prayer breakfast in defense of Islam while saying to Christians what comes around goes around - all those beheadings, crucifixions, shootings, and barbarous acts being committed by Muslim extremists in the Middle East, Africa, and in Europe are just events to brush off your sleeve. No big deal. Since over 1000 years ago Muslims were killed by Christians in the Crusades. The president didn't even get the Crusades correct. Christians were defending the Holy Land and Europe from Muslim domination and their takeover of Christian lands in Europe and elsewhere. The prayer breakfast is meant to be a celebration of faith, all faiths coming together, not the advancement of ideological beliefs lashing out in a bizarre way against one religion.<br />
<br />
In Paris, France persons who just happened to be Muslims targeted people of a satire magazine called Charlie Hebdo killing twelve for the publishing of an offensive Mohammed cartoon. Not long afterward, in Paris there was a hostage situation at a kosher deli. The four victims just happened to be Jewish and the hostage taker just happened to be Muslim. In Copenhagen persons who just happened to be Muslims targeted persons who just happened to be Jews outside of a synagogue and killed one, hurt two at a free speech event.<br />
<br />
Around three weeks ago the parents of humanitarian aid worker Kayla Mueller received word from ISIS that their daughter had been killed. Did the U.S. government's trade for Bowe Bergdahl make the heartbreaking reality of Kayla's death inevitable? This week ISIS raided villages and is believed to have<a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/isis-hundreds-of-assyrian-christian-hostages-in-syria/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"> kidnapped hundreds of Christians</a>. In the middle of February 21 a video was released showing Egyptian Coptic Christians being beheaded by ISIS. <br />
<br />
Our government refuses to identify these ISIS jihadists as Islamic extremists. If so called proclaimed Christians were doing these same barbaric practices I doubt that this administration would struggle with labeling them Christian extremists.<br />
<br />
The Obama administration is so out of touch and their failed national security policies are endangering we the people further on our homeland. I believe this presidents connection to his past roots and present Muslim half-brother(s) is influencing Obama and that is greatly affecting his decision making on foreign affairs. Obama has a duty to protect and defend America against enemies and I am not seeing him do all that he could possibly do to protect Americans. President Obama has chosen ideology over his constitutional responsibilities to the American people. President Obama is out of touch.Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-62776226830196889672015-01-28T23:39:00.002-08:002015-01-28T23:39:58.636-08:00On American SniperChris Kyle who is portrayed in the movie <i>American Sniper</i> is a hero. He paid the ultimate price to keep us safe. These sorry fools who think otherwise of Chris Kyle have no concept of what it means to be a hero, what it means to sacrifice for something or someone you love. They have a twisted notion of what it means to be a victim and a hero. The movie <i>American Sniper</i> honors Chris Kyle as he should be.<br />

<br />
Multiculturalism accepted muslims without question. Didn't care about Muslims ideology? Or Muslims beliefs at there core? Acceptance of everything is a bad thing. Inclusion of everything and everyone is a bad thing. Believe it or not there are bad people in our society so looking the other way is not an option, or would be a detrimental one. With open borders the terrorists could come and go as they pleased. Now there is a woman terrorist on the loose and open borders of Europe may just help her in getting away from police. <br />
<br />
Muslim terrorists are not just criminals. They are waging a war on everyone in the world who doesn't believe as they do. They don't believe in any freedoms. They don't want to coexist with others. It is not a matter of us not understanding Muslims!! It is impossible to understand people who want to kill in the name of Allah. <br />
<br />
How do we stop more attacks from happening in the West? Keeping our southern border porous is not the answer. This has made it easier for Muslim jihadists to cross our border. <br />
<br />
The West needs to wake up!!! We are in a fight for freedom against Muslim Jihadists.Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-36227088987956111912015-01-08T13:17:00.000-08:002015-01-08T13:17:25.738-08:00I'm Back!It has been over two months since I posted here. It has been really tough living apart from my husband. It is looking like that situation will change soon. Praying so we will be together soon. I have still been dealing with fibromyalgia and other pain. I have started reading books on remedies to help the pain. I think I am going to write shorter posts and that way I hopefully will post regularly. <br />
<br />
I have been making various beaded jewelry. I am trying to start a business. I love creating different necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. I am not going to limit my business to beaded jewelry. I have other ideas brewing in that head of mine. <br />
<br />
I hope all of you had a Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year's celebration. I had a busy Christmas. I was able to see my niece and nephew plus my great nieces and nephew which was truly awesome. Ah! The beginning of a new year. Each of us has the opportunity to make this year better than the last. <br />
<br />
There is so much to talk about that has happened over the past couple of months. I will leave that to my next post. <br />

<br />
Life for me today is more than politics. To me life is more than voting for the right candidate or Republicans vs. Democrats. Life for me has been spending time with family, becoming closer to Jesus, deeper in faith, healing and dealing with fibromyalgia and other health problems, plus rebuilding my life while separated from my husband(hopefully not too long) due to financial circumstances. Life for me is about being happy, making jewelry and other crafts. Politics is one part of my life it just doesn't take up a huge chunk of my life like it did before. My principles and beliefs are very important to me and that won't change but dealing with chronic pain is enough of a job by itself. I miss blogging often and visiting everyone's blogs.<br />
<br />
<br />
The militant, terrorist group known as ISIS must be defeated. How the International community goes about defeating them is up for debate. <a href="http://time.com/3552450/isil-isis-kurds-iraq-syria-kobani/" target="_blank"> Iraqi Kurdish Fighters Arrive in Syria Town Fighting ISIS </a><br />

Do you think wisdom is hard to come by nowadays? Seems like it when so many bad choices have been made for our country in recent years. Becoming wise requires change. Unfortunately most people are reticent to change. Here is an <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/10/too_late_smart.html" target="_blank">article</a> on wisdom.<br />

Kevin lost his job. I lost health insurance which I very much needed for medications and doctor visits. Going through the craziness of signing up for medical assistance is enough to make anyone go bonkers. The process and papers can be so confusing. Lately we haven't been receiving important papers in the mail so our electricity has been shut off. Yes, lights are out. We think it may have something to do with us having appealed how much we owe the bastards at our apartment complex and having it lowered a decent amount. We have been living with disgusting bugs for three years. There is mildew and so much other crap wrong with the apartment that the staff refused to address. Plus just recently we had sewage come up a couple of the drains. Lovely... The owner of Brentshire Gardens is a friggin slum lord. We are facing eviction but honestly I think it is a blessing in disguise. This is the reason I have been absent lately. Still dealing with health issues but that is an ongoing problem. I know God is with us even though we are going through a rough patch now. Hope all of you are doing well. Bless you and hope to visit blogs soon.Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-64240170555036332242014-09-07T14:05:00.001-07:002014-09-07T14:05:30.685-07:00Despicable Prank!!!! So Wrong!! A boy living in Ohio was the victim of an atrocious prank. The boy thought that he was participating in the ALS ice bucket challenge but instead other high school students played a cruel, vile prank pouring human waste and cigarette butts on the boy. Plus, the pranksters even went so low as to make a video of their bullying the boy with autism. Sick!!! Friggin awful!! I feel so sorry for the autistic boy. Drew Carey is spot on when saying that after these teens who committed this horrible act are found, they should be arrested and expelled from school. What these boys did crosses way over the line of just being a prank. These bullies need to be punished. Drew Carey has even offered a <a href="http://fox8.com/2014/09/06/drew-carey-weighs-in-on-ice-bucket-challenge-prank-offers-to-donate-10k/" target="_blank">reward</a> to find the bullies who did this repulsive act against the boy. If the reward isn't needed Drew is going to make a donation to the organization Autism Speaks. This is utterly sickening and I can't imagine how this boy is suffering right now.

Question for people who are pro-choice -- Do you believe that abortion clinics should be held to the same safety standard as ambulatory facilities? Should abortion clinics be regulated to follow codes such as the Here is a list of facilities across America that are required by law to follow the Life Safety Code standards: prisons, <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">day care centers, health clinics, hotels, schools, prisons, businesses and homes. Do you think that abortion clinics should be required to adhere to the same standards? In Alabama and other states legislatures have proposed or passed legislation that requires the same standards of abortion clinics that are required of other facilities. Abortion rights activists have claimed that these laws are arbitrary and have nothing to do with safety of facilities for employees and patients. Mary Kate Cary from the<a href="http://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2013/07/18/medical-standards-for-abortion-clinics-are-no-war-on-women" target="_blank"> U.S. News & World Report</a> notes: </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<blockquote style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: magenta;">The Washington Post editorialized recently, "Safety in abortion clinics is a legitimate concern, but these regulations probably will have little effect on patient safety. Many of the requirements are costly and cosmetic, requiring clinics – without financial assistance from the state – to widen hallways, doorways and even entrance awnings." So not being able to get a gurney to a woman in trouble is a "cosmetic" problem, not a safety concern? Women's health advocates told the Post that as a result, all but one clinic in North Carolina "would probably close" because of associated costs, all but five clinics in Texas "would probably" close, and at least one clinic in Ohio is "already feeling the pinch." Similar predictions followed the restrictions on Pennsylvania clinics after the Kermit Gosnell verdict; yet news reports show that only five had actually closed, most voluntarily.<span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Since these clinics also offer mammograms, cervical cancer screenings, contraception and other preventive services, the reproductive-rights lobby argues that women will lose access to all of these health services because of "cosmetic," "costly" changes required by "extremist" politicians. But if they really were committed to women's health, wouldn't clinics remain open for all other services? Instead, they prefer to threaten an all-or-nothing shutdown of services to all women because they don't want to meet higher standards for just one service. It makes you wonder which is more important to so-called women's health advocates: women's actual health or abortion politics.<span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Mainstream public opinion is moving in one direction, toward more restrictions, not fewer – and the left is moving in the other direction. If you ask me, that's extremist.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"> </span></span></span></blockquote>

Over the past few months I have been thinking about how in conservative circles we call immigrants who didn't go through the proper channels to come to the United States, "illegal immigrants" and asked myself "why?" These people are <b>NOT Illegal! </b>People<b> </b>are<b> </b>not illegal. The crimes that people do are illegal. Persons themselves are not illegal. I can totally understand why progressives, immigrants, as well as others see this terminology as offensive. Conservatives/Libertarians need to try to get out of this bad habit of calling immigrants who came here illegally "illegal immigrants." So I am making a plea to my fellow bloggers to stop calling immigrants who crossed the border here illegally "illegal immigrants" because it is hurtful to the immigrants as persons to call them illegal. This has pulled my heartstrings.Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-62689688474449204192014-07-26T13:01:00.000-07:002014-07-26T13:01:34.236-07:00Liberties lost, Chaos, brutality, rights trampled on, Citizens spying on other citizens; America in decline before our eyesIs America becoming a police state?

The incidents happening across America are horrible, alarming, and frightening. It is so sad to witness the decline of America.<br />
<br />
We have the <a href="http://deadcitizensrightssociety.wordpress.com/2014/07/24/feds-urge-paramedics-firefighters-to-help-find-extremists/" target="_blank">government calling on paramedics and firefighters to report so called suspicious activity</a>, ordering them to look for "extremists" as a part of their job. WTH???<br />
<br />
I do think there is still time to save America and reverse this slow painful death which is upon her. We can restore Godly principles, lost liberties, and our founding fathers' vision and foundation to America.<br />

Not sure why. They were 9 years old. Somehow in the apartment we got fleas even though they were indoor cats. We tried some things to get rid of the fleas but nothing worked very well. Both Kevin and I are crushed, hurting so badly. They helped me get through my hysterectomy and so much else. I miss them so so so much.<br />

Stuart Steinberg confirmed the death of his Max Steinberg, 24, to The Associated Press on Sunday. Steinberg, whose family lives in Southern California's San Fernando Valley, was a sharpshooter for the Golani Brigade. He was one of 13 Israeli soldiers killed in fighting Sunday during the first major ground battle in two weeks of fighting between Israel and Hamas.</div>

Earlier Sunday, the IDF said in a statement that Sgt. Nissim Sean Carmeli, 21, was killed in combat in the Gaza Strip. Carmeli was from South Padre Island, Texas, said Deputy Consul General of Israel to the Southwest Maya Kadosh. She said Carmeli moved to Israel four years ago and added that the consulate helped his family get a flight there Sunday.</div>

The online payment system that motor vehicles has in Pa is screwed up and this led to my husband having problems with his job. The higher ups at his job acted like a bunch of rejects and idiots and he came close to losing his job. He is finally back to work but now we are facing at least one other major issue. I am still trying to get my health under control. I have been trying different pain meds which seem to help at first but then my pain worsens so I don't know. I have been waiting to be approved for Disability for a long time so hopefully this will happen and when it does our financial situation will improve. Over the past two years I have tried various things to better my health so I am able able to work but nothing has helped even to the point where I feel okay. I have faith that things will get better.<br />
<br />
<br />
There is utter chaos happening at the border with floods of minors crossing the border into the U.S. illegally. LD Jackson covers the question of whether these<a href="http://www.ldjackson.net/unaccompanied-alien-children-are-here-to-stay/" target="_blank"> unaccompanied alien children are here to stay</a>. Chaos is one of the elements of the Cloward-Piven Strategy. Would progressives assist in creating an implosion of our economy and the societal system which is in place? I wouldn't doubt it. The influx of minor immigrants could certainly be part of progressive's plan to transform America. Oh my! When it rains it pours. Bunkerville has posted news that <a href="http://bunkerville.wordpress.com/2014/07/11/mexico-cut-deal-to-send-more-illegals-to-the-united-states/" target="_blank">Mexico has cut a deal to send more illegals to the United States</a>. So much for United States sovereignty. The right to have borders, right to know who is entering the U.S., and the ability for us to defend this nation has been gutted with this crisis at the border.<br />
